Imran Khan calling Osama bin Laden a 'martyr' was 'slip of tongue': Pakistan Minister Fawad Chaudhry

India Today  

One year after Prime Minister Imran Khan described slain Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden as a "shaheed", Pakistan's Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry on Sunday clarified that it was a "slip of the tongue" by his boss. Speaking in Parliament on June 25 last year, Khan said the American forces entered Pakistan and killed bin Laden without informing the government, after which everyone started abusing his country. The controversy surfaced again last week when Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi refrained from calling Osama bin Laden a terrorist in an interview with Afghanistan’s Tolo News. When asked about Qureshi's remarks by Tolo News anchor, Information Minister Chaudhry said the foreign minister's refusal to call bin Laden a terrorist might have had to do with his desire to "move forwards, instead of looking at the past".
